Protesters in front of the station, which is located at 3400 South Central Ave. (map), were shouting “hands up, don’t shoot,” according to a livestream being provided by a woman at the scene.

The rallying cry became popular with protesters angry over the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old whose death at the hands of police in Ferguson, Missouri garnered nationwide reaction.

A handful of demonstrators outside the LAPD station held up signs, and one large yellow banner read "Stop Killer Cops," aerial video over the scene showed. Some wore shirts that said "no justice, no peace," with the hashtag "#justice4ford" on the front.

At least ten uniformed LAPD officers were visible outside the doors to the station, with other officers in the surrounding area, according to the aerial video.

Family, friends and supporters of Ford then marched from the station through the streets of South Los Angeles, with officers closely following behind.

“The murders by the police of black and brown youth throughout this society has got to stop. The murder of Ezell Ford is completely illegitimate,” one woman, who marched with the group and did not give her name, told KTLA.

Ezell Ford is shown in a photo provided by his family. He was fatally shot by police on Aug. 11, 2014.

The crowd eventually came to a stop and dispersed after several miles.
